Police in Mohali carried out a major operation in the Dera Bassi area after receiving specific intelligence about Lawrence Bishnoi gang members. Officers surrounded an abandoned building where the suspects were hiding. As soon as the police moved closer, the men opened fire. The sudden gunshots shocked nearby residents, who stayed indoors until the situation stabilised. Police teams quickly took cover and returned fire.
During the brief encounter, two suspects suffered gunshot injuries to their legs. Police immediately took them to a nearby hospital under tight security. The other two men tried to escape, but officers overpowered them within minutes. No civilians or police personnel suffered major injuries during the exchange. The swift action by the joint team helped prevent further violence.
After the arrests, police searched the hideout and found illegal pistols, ammunition and sharp-edged weapons. Forensic teams are now checking the recovered arms to identify their source. Officers believe the men were planning a major crime, as the amount of ammunition suggested a coordinated operation. This recovery has given investigators vital clues.
Mohali Police and the Anti-Gangster Task Force have started questioning the accused. They are examining phone records and recent movements to track their network. Investigators also want to find out if more gang members are hiding in nearby districts. Police believe this operation has weakened the Bishnoi group in the region, and they expect more breakthroughs soon.
